First off, I'd like to say that if it wasn't for the MGMAT series I'd be completely lost. Great books, well worth the investment. They explain things in such a precise way, building concepts step-by-step. My learning style is completely in-line with how the books teach. So, for those considering it - just buy the whole set, even if you feel strong in one particular area. Just buy them, IMO the best guide out there.
I've been through all the quant books and SC twice. Decided it was time to try a CAT - to see where I stand.
I started it up last night, got thru the AWA and moved on to the quant section. Now, for reasons unimportant to your guys, I was in a bad mood last night and was having trouble focusing. I got about 25 questions into the quant section before I just exited, skipping the rest of the section. I was getting frustrated and just guessed in order to move on to the next question probably 5 or 6 times. I also was pushing a torrid pace as I had 38 minutes left by question 25 when I bailed.
Tonight I regrouped and polished off the verbal. I stayed focused and was more in the zone tonight. However, I still finished 25 minutes early. I had the same problem with blitzing through the test on the LSAT (I swear if that test had 30 minute sections not 35 I'd be 99 percentile, but I digress)
So after blowing the quant and working out some obvious sticking points in verbal I didn't know what to expect score-wise. I got a 570. Nothing to write home about but all things considered a decent starting score for my first full prep test.
But given what happened can I still count on this socre as relaible? IS MGMAT a reliable indicator of real test scoring?

based on my personal experience, i think the scoring (the actual number) is a fairly accurate indicator of what you will score in the real gmat, but the questions themselves are not necessarily an accurate indicator of the types of questions you might get on the real gmat. I just took my gmat the other day after taking all of the mgmat practice cats, and i scored very similar to what i was scoring on the practices. however, the types of questions i got were, for the most part, not that similar to mgmat ones. gmatprep is obviously the most accurate, since its cats consist of prior real gmat questions.
hope this helps a little!

i suggest you take another test in one sitting. due to your mood you might've under performed even on the questions you were seriously working on before you just decided to randomly answer them. Also look at your math scoring sheet to see how many questions you did get right on math before you gave up on it. Also here: https://gmatclub.com/gmat-score-estimate/ is something that might be useful - not sure how accurate the estimations are but i will probably find out tomorrow....
